Job description

At Honest Eatery, we believe in real food, real people, and a real commitment to our Salt Lake City community. We are looking for a dedicated, high-energy Closing Shift Manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in "leaving it better than they found it."

As the Closing Shift Lead, you aren't just a supervisor—you are the General Manager’s right hand. You own the evening operations, ensuring the store finishes strong, the team stays motivated, and our standards never waver.

Key Responsibilities

• Operational Excellence: Lead the evening team to ensure the shop is clean, organized, and fully prepped for the following day.
• Team Development: Act as a coach on the floor. You’ll train new hires, provide real-time feedback, and foster a positive, high-performance culture.
• Financial Stewardship: Monitor and manage labor costs by adjusting staffing levels based on real-time volume. Assist in tracking food costs through portion control and waste management.
• Inventory & Ordering: Maintain accurate evening inventory counts and communicate stock needs to the GM to ensure we never run out of the essentials.
• The Guest Experience: Lead by example in guest service. You are the final point of contact for our community each day, ensuring every bowl and toast served is perfect.
• Food Safety & Compliance: Enforce strict health and safety standards. You are responsible for ensuring all closing temp logs and sanitation checklists are completed flawlessly.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience | 1+ years of leadership experience in a fast-casual or high-volume restaurant.

Reliability | A consistent closer who takes ownership of the shop’s security and cleanliness.

Business Acumen | Understanding of P&L basics (labor % and COGS) is a major plus.

Communication | Ability to give clear direction and provide a detailed "Nightly Recap" for the GM.

Physical Ability | Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 40 lbs.

Certifications | Valid Utah Food Handler’s Permit (ServSafe preferred).

• Shift Meals: Enjoy our fresh, healthy meals on every shift.
• Work-Life Balance: Competitive pay and a predictable closing schedule.
• Culture: Work in a vibrant, health-conscious environment where your input actually matters.

Our Philosophy:

We don’t just "close the store." We set the stage for tomorrow's success. If you have a sharp eye for detail and a passion for leading people, we want to meet you.

Honest Eatery is ready to welcome you
We believe that food should uplift and connect, not weigh or slow down. Our focus is to create menu items that taste as great as they look and provide the nutrition your body needs to thrive. Our mission will always be to provide; Real + Honest + Food
